Software Engineer

Intelliforce-IT Solutions Group • Columbia, MD

38d • $139,000 - $179,000

About The Position

At Intelliforce, we build mission-ready engineering solutions that directly support national security operations. In this role, you will help develop large-scale data processing capabilities that power real-world intelligence outcomes. The work is deep in the stack, focused on distributed systems, cloud-enabled environments, and software that must perform reliably under real mission demand. This is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys complex technical problems, hands-on development, and building systems that matter every day.
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
This role gives you the chance to work on software built for scale, speed, and mission impact. You will design Java services, support distributed data processing workflows, optimize performance, and integrate cloud-based capabilities into production platforms. The work blends coding, debugging, system integration, and continuous improvement, so you stay close to both the engineering and the mission.
At Intelliforce, your work is visible and your contributions carry weight. Because we support prime programs, our teams stay close to meaningful mission work with real momentum. Because we are a small business, leadership is accessible, communication is direct, and strong engineering gets noticed. Add in long-term stability, strong benefits, and a people-first culture, and this becomes more than another software role. It is a chance to help shape mission systems that operate at real scale.
Why Intelliforce? Because you matter—your work, your growth, and your well-being.
At Intelliforce, we don’t just push the boundaries of technology—we partner with some of the most mission-driven teams in defense and beyond to solve challenges that truly matter. As a Systems Engineer here, you won’t just contribute to projects—you’ll help shape outcomes that make a real-world impact.
We also know that great work starts with a great environment. That’s why we invest in you:
Ample PTO to rest and recharge—plus all federal holidays and your birthday off, just because.
Multiple medical plan options, including ones with zero deductible or premium for employees.
Generous 401(k) with immediate vesting—because your future matters now.
Exciting bonus opportunities, from profit sharing to quarterly awards and President’s Club recognition.
A culture of collaboration, connection, and fun, with regular team activities that go beyond the work.
